Because this is what you'll back on It will cut right through the laughs and all the fun When you were kicked back waiting for the days to end Just hanging out with your friends But sometimes things aren't so easy Sometimes you have got to chose between what is simple And what you know is right To prove that, "you can count on me" Was what you meant When you spoke up to write the chapter On who you are in your heart When we were so in love with pretty words Like loyalty, and unity, this is you legacy Where will you be? It is really hardly ever that we are tested Never mind asked to shine But is there any time more important Then when we're called upon to be there for a friend? Friends they say it's what makes the best defense What this really comes down to Is a war within yourself Face to face with a thousand places that you would rather be And what you chose is gonna bind you to this time Friends they say it's what makes the best defense And we are all gonna get fucked up sometimes No one makes it through this shit unharmed The key is finding the ones worth fighting for And standing for And bleeding for Where you there or did you run?
